Parse Biosciences Launches Evercode Low Input Fixation for Cells and Nuclei4.11.2024 17:00:00 CET | Press Release
Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch and availability of Evercode™ Low Input Fixation kits for both cells and nuclei. The new kits empower researchers who have a small number of starting cells or nuclei who ordinarily might not be able to perform single cell sequencing using fixed cells. Fixation is a strategy used by many single cell researchers because it enables them to collect samples at different times and then perform library preparation and sequencing at once when all of the samples are amassed. Yet, a well-known challenge across all fixation technologies is that they require a certain number of cells or nuclei, usually 50,000 or greater. With the new kits from Parse, researchers can start with as few as 10,000 cells or nuclei. The new low input fixation kits are ideal for researchers working with limited cells across various conditions or those handling rare and precious samples. These kits
